Deschanel has since found love with “Dear John” screenwriter Jamie Linden, and the rocker reveals he now avoids gossip magazines so he won’t be constantly reminded of his heartbreak.

He tells New York Magazine, “I don’t see any of the web sites that covered it. I don’t read pop-culture sites, I don’t read gossip magazines, I don’t read this s–. And that’s exactly how you deal with it. You just don’t read them.”
